SPECIFICATIONS
• For dimmable LED/CFL, Incandescent (INC), Magnetic Low Voltage (MLV), Electronic Low Voltage (ELV), Halogen or dimmable uorescent light xtures.
• Ability to set Min/Max dimmer level for maximum compatibility with different loads.
• Rapid start feature which allows the light to come on instantly in the case of LED/CFL loads and the ability to disable that feature.
• One Master Dimmer works with up to ve (5) Accessory Dimmers.
• NOTE - A Neutral Connection is required in the wallbox where the Master Dimmer will be installed.
• Compatible with Mark 10® Powerline, AmbiStar® and Tu-wire® dimmable ballasts.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Press ON/OFF button once to turn lights ON at the previously selected level.
• Press again to turn lights OFF.
• When lights are OFF, press and hold for 2 seconds for full brightness.
• To activate delay off feature, when lights are ON, press and hold for
2 seconds until the green LED ashes then release. After 10 seconds, the lights will begin fading to OFF. This allows you time to exit
the room before the lights turn off.
• Amber LED indicates that the dimmer is turned on.
DIMMING LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
For maximum compatibility with different loads types, AAL06 allows the user to set the minimum level. Also to save on power consumption ALL06 allows the user to set the maximum level.
1. After installing the dimmer and restoring power.
2. Press on/off button to turn on the light.
3. Press and hold on/off button for ve seconds until the green dimmer LEDs begin to cycle rapidly (NOTICE- after two seconds green dimmer LEDs will start to ash indicating activation of the delay off feature.
Continue holding the ON/OFF button for three additional seconds until the green dimmer LEDs begin to cycle rapidly.)
4. Release the button. Dimmer will set the light to the previously saved minimum level (that may cause the light to icker or turn off). During initial setup, the light will set to the factory minimum default.
5. Press either the dim or bright buttons to change the minimum level until the light output is acceptable.
6. Press ON/OFF button. Green dimmer LEDs will start to cycle rapidly again and the dimmer light will go to previously saved maximum level.
7. Press either the dim or bright buttons to change the maximum level until the light output is acceptable.
8. Press ON/OFF button, LED will ash indicating completion of programming
• NOTE – To restore the default min/max, repeat the steps above and adjust light levels to full min/max settings by pressing dim/bright buttons until the light output no longer changes.
• NOTE - User could ignore setting max or min by pressing on/off button without changing the dimmer level.
Rapid start feature
This feature ensures that LED/CFL lights turn on when the dimmer preset level is low. With this setting enabled, the lights may momentarily be brighter than the preset level (less than one second) and then dim
down to the preset level.
Depending on the type of light used, this feature may not be needed.
To enable/disable the feature, turn lights on. Press and hold the on/off button for 10 seconds until the green dimmer LEDs ash for the third time, then release the button.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
• Turn OFF circuit breaker or remove fuse(s) and verify that power is off before wiring.
• Never wire any electrical device with power turned on. Wiring the dimmer with power on may cause permanent damage to the dimmer and void the warranty.
• If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, or if the wiring does not match the descriptions given, you should call a qualied electrician.
CAUTION:
1. Do not exceed maximum rating of the dimmer as indicated in Table 1.
2. Must be installed and used in accordance with electrical codes.
3. If a bare copper or green ground connection is not available in the wallbox, contact a licensed electrician for installation. Do not install without proper ground connections.
4. To avoid overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not use to control receptacles, motor-driven appliances, transformer supplied appliances, etc.
5. Use only #14 or #12 copper wire rated for at least 75º C with these devices. Do not use with aluminum wire.
6. Be sure to read and follow all instructions associated with the specic lamp that you are using with the dimmer.
7. The Smart Dimmer will not work or will become damaged if wired incorrectly, and the warranty will be voided. Refer to wiring instructions in this document.
Tools needed for Installation:
• Screwdriver (Slotted/Phillips) • Pliers • Cutters
SINGLE OR MULTI-LOCATION APPLICATION
Determine which type of installation it is.
• Single Location – Controlled from one location.
• Multi-Location – Controlled from more than one location. One location is the Master Dimmer and the other location(s) are the
Accessory Dimmers.
• Turn off the power and remove wallplate.
• NOTE – The Smart Dimmer is not compatible with standard 3-way switches.
• NOTE – A neutral wire must be available in the wallbox.
SINGLE LOCATION INSTALLATION
Disconnect the existing switch, remove it and connect as per
FIGURE 1 using the wire nuts provided:
• Connect the Dimmer black wire to the hot wire (black) in the
wallbox.
• Connect the Dimmer red wire to the wire that goes to the light
xture (black).
• Connect the Dimmer white wire and yellow wire to the neutral
wire (white) in the wallbox.
• Connect the Dimmer green wire to the ground wire in the
wallbox.
• Install the Dimmer loosely using the mounting screws provided.
• Apply power temporarily and verify that one of the green dimmer
LED’s is on. Push the ON/OFF button to verify the lights turn ON and
OFF. If the lights do not work, then turn off the power and swap the
dimmer red and black wires.
• Apply power again and verify that the dimmer works by pushing the
ON/OFF button to verify the lights turn ON and OFF.
• Turn power OFF. Refer to COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION.
IMPORTANT – HOW TO IDENTIFY COMMON WIRES
For Two and Three location installations you must rst identify the Common
Wires.
TWO LOCATION:
On a 3-way switch the common wire is identied by a marking on the switch
indicating COM, or the screw color is Black, and is different than the other two
screws. Tag this wire before disconnecting the wires from the switch.
THREE LOCATION:
• Two of the existing switches will be 3-Way. The 3-way switches will be located
at each end of the circuit with a 4-way switch in between. Tag the two 3-way
switches as in the Two Location section.
• The 4-way switch has four insulated wires connected to four terminal screws.
Two wires should be Red and two should be Black.
